Energy-aware multi-objective differential evolution in cloud computing

Abstract

Cloud computing (CC) could be a massive distributed computing driven by business, during which the services and resources are area unit delivered on request to external consumer via the Web. The distributed computing environment comprises of physical servers, virtual machines, data centers, and load balancers which are appended in an efficient way. With the increasing size of a number of physical servers and utilization of cloud services in data centers (DC), the power consumption is a critical and challenging research problem. Minimizing the operational cost and power in a DC becomes essential for cloud service provider (CSP). To resolve this problem, we introduced a novel approach that leads to nominal operational cost and power consumption in DCs. We propose a multi-objective modified differential evolution algorithm for first placement of virtual machine (VM) in the physical hosts and optimize the power consumption during resource allocation using live migration. The experimental results reveal that our proposed method is significantly better against state-of-the-art techniques in terms of limited power consumption and SLA for any given workload.
